After 9/11, President Bush and the media–both mainstream and “conservative”–constantly told us baloney about Islam and Muslims, including such falsities as Islam means “peace,” that the hijackers “hijacked the religion” (rather than the other way around–the truth). And many mindless Bush amen crowd types, along with liberals, bought into this positive view of Islam. Frauds like National Review’s unduly-revered Victor Davis Hanson–who claims to be a great historian and now pretends he knows about Islam–who was on C-SPAN giving a lecture, and told audience members the same fertilizer: that these were just a few hijackers hijacking a religion, that Muslims are actually peaceful around the world, and that historically Muslims, including Mohammed, treated Jews and Christians well. HUH? Remember, this pretentious ignoramus (who has now found “religion”) is a “historian” by profession. A “historian” who was completely ignorant of even the most basic history.

But, now, Bush is gone. And liberal Democrat Obama, the son of a Muslim who is also Muslim under Islamic law and constantly praises Islam (almost as much as Bush did), is in office. So, now, mindless conservatives who sided with Bush and liberals on the “Islam is peace” BS and the “hijackers hijacked their religion” excrement, have decided to finally come to their senses on Islam (for now). In fact, they are now finally so knowledgeable about the real Islam that Obama is getting the brunt of their anger and blame for Islamo-pandering policies and statements begun by Bush. (Conservatives complain that Imam Feisal Rauf is traveling on the U.S. taxpayer dime to the Mid-East, but this was a Bush move that Obama is merely continuing. Hey, where were you whining people when Bush did it for nearly EIGHT YEARS?)

And since many Americans are finally waking up on Islam (probably temporarily because it’s mostly a weapon of anger against Obama, and they aren’t angry–for instance–that the most pan-Muslim Member of Congress, terrorism supporter and Republican Darrell Issa, will be put in a big position of power, if and when the GOP takes over the House), ABC News is upset. And, therefore, tonight, the prime time spot usually occupied by a regular edition of ABC News “20/20” program, will instead feature “Islam: Questions and Answers“–a propaganda hour on Islam, feeding you lies about “moderate Muslims” (none of whom will specifically denounce Hezbollah and HAMAS) and trying to disabuse you of your knowledge of Islam’s atrocious treatment of women, polygamy, violence and total disregard for human life, intolerance for anything but Islam, and open support for Islamic terrorism by virtually every mosque, imam, and Muslim school in America.

You’ve probably seen the ads for this “deprogramming” hour hosted by Diane Sawyer (who is always called in to host attacks on the truth, like when she hosted a similar special to attack the Second Amendment and gunowners’ rights). They’ve been heavily promoting this show for a week. And here’s a sampling of what ABC informs us will be on tonight’s show beginning at 10:00 p.m. Eastern:

in the United States, where less than 1 percent of the population practices Islam, many misconceptions persist. There’s also a deeply-rooted suspicion of the religion.

Since the debate over a proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero and Pastor Terry Jones’ controversial plan to hold an “International Burn a Koran Day” on the anniversary of 9/11, the conversation on Islam in America has become heated. Many are worried that anti-Muslim feelings have reached a new high.

A quarter of Americans admit to feelings of prejudice against Muslims, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, and 49 percent view the religion unfavorably.

Above all, most Americans fear what radical Muslims and terrorists could be capable of.

Diane Sawyer asks moderate Muslims why so few in their communities speak out to address the misconceptions and counter the voices of radical leaders.

I guarantee you that not a single Muslim on that show will actually be a “moderate Muslim.” That term, as I’ve noted on this site repeatedly, is largely an oxymoron. An infinitesmal fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of Muslims in the world are “moderate,” and most of those are completely secular (though even most secular Muslims are extremists like their religious counterparts).

CAIR couldn’t have paid for better advertising. It’s a whole hour telling us that what we know as the truth, somehow isn’t. Uh, sorry, Diane Sawyer, but I know all about Islam and have known and written about it for decades, well before 9/11. I don’t have any questions.

And I don’t want ABC’s well-fertilized “answers.” Neither do most Americans. Many of them finally know better about Islam. And that’s what ABC and Diane Sawyer are afraid of.

Good point on Sawyer being the one who also hosted the slandering of the 2nd amendment. Too true. Unfortunately a lot of people watching that garbage will be swayed by it even though all evidence points to the contrary.
Imagine my double take when a coworker (army reservist) tried to inform me about how peaceful and similar to Christianity, Islam was. He was merely passing along information based on the totally insane U.S. ARMY training classes he was forced to sit through. Thankfully he was open enough to also listen to me and another couple of guys who also had actually taken our own time to read up on the subject ourselves. My son also has been misinformed by the USMC! A 18 yr old sitting through this indoctrination is just criminal.
Keep up the good work.

You mean Diane Sewer? A person who never failed to bend the truth, going back to her days in the Nixon White House. She is a chameleon, who will say and do whatever her owners want her to.

Of course, this show has deeper roots. ABC is owned by Disney. Disney already markets and sells its politically correct movies throughout the Arab/Islamic world, but now Disney wants to build a theme park in one of the Arab countries. Hence, there is a strong corporate component to Diane Sewer’s puff piece on Islam.

I’ve been hearing the good treatment of Jews and Christians by Muslims since the early 90’s, that Muslims consider them “people of the book”.

Funny how other religions aren’t mentioned. The Zoaroastrians were persecuted in Iran. Muslims have little respect for Hindus other than that Hindus outnumber them in India (funny there’s almost no Hindus in Pakistan, but 90 millions Muslims in India). The Taliban blowing up Buddhist statues wasn’t extremism; it’s typical Islamic behaviour. Islam was intolerant from the get-go. Allowing Jews and Christian minorities to exist as second-class citizens in Muslim-dominated countries is not worthy of praise.

I was recently reading about the restoration of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and how some Turkish Muslims would violent oppose the idea of it ever being a church again since it belongs to them and should be a mosque. Funny, I thought the Romans built it, and certainly not as mosque. But in a thug-culture religion, what you steal is yours forever.

Network TV programming these days is aimed mostly at women. The fact that the host is Diane Sawyer indicates that this show is also aimed at women. Women are easier to dupe. They’re more likely to be bleeding hearts, less likely to explore these topics themselves. Women convert to Islam at far greater rates. No doubt the CAIR thugs helped ABC to craft a show aimed at women. Will probably see lots of attractive and “reasonable” Muslimas on the show.

Seems PBS has jumped on the religious studies bandwagon also. But the series looks heavily weighted towards Islam, probably a puff piece on the wonders of this “peaceful” religion, with a nod toward Christianity and Judaism. And they’ll most likely say dumb things like, “Islam is very similar to Christianity, as it shares the same ideas with Judaism too.” WRONG!

First the Saudi funds; then the university endowments, Islamic studies programs, facilities, Wahhabi professors, and foreign students; then the acquisition of rural acreage; then the mosques, ethnic shopping centers, residential sub-divisions, and finally subsidized Muslim immigrants are imported to inhabit the prefab neighborhoods; then the community education on lawfare tactics, working the welfare state, manipulating progressive infidels, complaining about the Innumerable ways the U.S. Constitution and Western culture offends Muslims; and then secret Shari’a courts within the communities; finally leveraging of post-constitutional useful idiot progressives to destabilize the law to eventually make way for universal Shari’a.

Infidels don’t have children; they abort them. Muslims don’t abort, they grow large families. If Muslims ever become a political majority and impose Shari’a they will stop complaining. It’s the Infidel who will complain. But only once, and at the cost of his life.

Go to Pakistan for answers. There are no women on the streets of Pakistan. None. They are kept in their homes, weaving carpets for $50 a year. Yes, they did have a female prime minister, but that was an aberration. For the most part, women are treated worse than dogs.

She was killed for violating social taboos about a woman being in charge. The feminists could care less that women are actually killed in Muslim countries – often on trumped up charges or for no reason at all. You would think that would make them more appreciate of all that women have gained in the West in the past few thousand years but you would be wrong.

And here’s another irony to consider: in the Muslim World, they would NEVER allow a woman to represent the face of Islam. Its male for a reason. But you don’t find the beautiful people complaining about it. No – they act like its no big deal just as the rape and forced submission of women to men in such societies deserves no notice.

It’ll be great if the moderate muslims will come out and condemn the radicalism that exist in their religion, etc., instead of hiding and cowering and saying nothing because they’ll fear that verminst racketeering groups like CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, etc. will marginalize them and say that their not real muslims! Debbie, this BS seems to happen in ethnic minoritiy communities, where some pressure group(s) who claims that they represnet a group of people, etc. in which everybody knows that it’s the white-communist left wing leftist who are using and abusing minority people in order for them to support the liberal agenda, vote democrat & be dependent on mommy-&-daddy government, I know this because I happend to be a black-male myself! If your a non-white minority conservative the assholes on the left will ostrasize you and pretend that you don’t exist. And the samething can be said for islam, it’s white-communist left wingers who are using muslims so that they can support the left wing agenda in this country, etc.!

I mean they cannot live in peace with each other. So why should people expect they will live in peace with us infidels?

They way they treat each other foreshadows historically how they’ve treated minorities, dissidents and women in their own lands across history and across time.

And to pretend it doesn’t exist, that most Muslims are moderate is to do a grave disservice to the truth. No matter what ABC does in misinforming us about Islam actually is, it can’t change the truth about its true nature.

I saw the commercial for the islam program and just felt revulsion. I am sick of islam and would find it refreshing not to hear or know about islam or the deeds of muslims trying to get to heaven by killing other people.

I was very skeptical of the idea that the 9/11 muslim terrorists hijacked islam and didn’t know what true islam was. When I was young I was taught my religion and we were taught to love one another and help the poor. Loving one another included loving all human beings on earth not only those who believe as you do.

I don’t like that muslims have been tricked and/or compelled to follow islam which I think is false and evil.

Haven’t watched the networks (or local news from NYC) for over 30 years. I couldn’t care less what they have to say about anything. Their audience, while still bigger than cable news, is dropping. The feminization of the network newscasts is an embarrassment.

Maybe someone should ask whatever apologistas are on the show :
Why is it that EVERYWHERE on the planet where there is non-drug related continuing armed conflict ( except for Korea where there is a lunatic running around) there are “peace-loving MUSLIMS” who are involved?

Here is what the Qur’an has to say about (kuffars, unbelievers, infidels) you –

Of course ABC is the standard of Truth, Justice, Honesty, Hard Hitting Stories, and impecable morals.

Now I can sleep well at night knowing that xenophobic, Islamophobic Muslim haters, those biased, bigoted, racist white people, are just stupid, misinformed haters, and are the REAL terrorists, while Muslims are sweet, kind hearted, loving, compassionate people who are the most caring, merciful, trust worthy people who ever have lived and without them our world would be so violent.

That whole “submission” tenet of islam is what provokes my freedom-loving resentment the most. What joie de vie can possibly blossom and thrive under a philosophy of complete fatalism? This isn’t a religion, it’s hell on earth!

Where Muslims are a minority, as in North America, they are unable to force infidels to submit to the authority of Islam and show deference to Muslims.

Infidels, protected under the First Amendment are left free to do the intolerable, to publicly disrespect Allah and his prophet. An act which under sharia might cost the transgressor his life or just a leg on the left and an arm on the right.

What to do? The first step is to incite murder and mayhem locally, overseas, or both. A large bloc of the public, in fear for their safety, denounce the “free” speaker rather than those who committed the violence.

That’s when the Muslim pressure groups draw their “Law Cards” and resort to LawFare. They feed the media with propaganda about the religion of peace and bombard the courts with endless grievances. Everybody and his brother gets called an Islamophobe. The courts rule that speech which “insults” Islam is irresponsible on par with crying fire in a crowded theater; people might be killed.

A man threatens to burn a Koran. Police converge on the scene in response to threats of violence. Infidels overseas are attacked and killed. Public opinion holds that the guy with the matches is responsible for the loss of life; he had left Muslims with no choice but to commit murder and mayhem.

The guy who threatened to burn the “holy” book gets taken into police custody; is charged with the crime of pissing off Muslims (now a felony. I think?); and ends up with a bill for a quarter of a million dollars to pay for, among other things, a couple of dozen policemen who camped out on his property.

I assume the police where there to protect the man “committing” free speech from leaving practitioners of the “religion of peace” with no alternative but to slaughter him and anybody unfortunate enough to be standing near him.

Amazing how obsessed every is with Islam. Is our obsession with this religion, such as all the sites dedicated to both promoting as well as opposing it, actually contributing to it’s spread and popularity?

Think about it, the average American had little if any feelings towards Islam, now EVERYONE either defends it or hates it – strong feelings!

Andy, people ignored what they didn’t see. Islam got a little attention when they blew up the barracks and killed 300 sleeping Marines. But it happened over there, out of sight out of mind. Then like a spoiled child looking for attention islam killed 3000 people in the middle of New York City. Soemthing like that tends to attract attention.

Again people have been put to sleep, even with the few little attacks to shake things up most people in the West prefer to live in a state of denial that islam wants to kill them. People are shining the light on the rats to get people involved but they all have the “wont happen here”, “wont happen to Me” and “we are to big to fail” mentality. When another major attack happens just watch the news as they show all these people being surprised and asking “why?”.

Well there you go, one way to seperate the stupid and ignorant from the smart and informed.
So, which one are you ‘Andy Bernard’?
Me, I’m with the smart and informed ‘Hates It’ group. Always have been and always will be.

people need to understand religion first, before sterot-yping and making assumptions. there is good and bad in everything in this world. the real religion does not promote hate. it comes down to, getting to know the person, values etc. despite religion, we are all one. unfortunatly the badness in any denomination has caused real problems for the good people of the religion. this is a problem that will be there forever. Change will only happen if we are all willing to be open to those who have a good heart.

sorry for all the individuals that are so caught up in a world of stupid thoughts. understand there will always be change in this living world, nothing stays the same.. unless you live on a planet on your own. again, there is good and bad in everything in this world. there is a difference between radical movements and real relegion. please people get educated and actually talk to people of faith

you really have alot of hate. i am not preaching hate. you are screaming hate. i am expressing love. you are clearly angry, and i am sorry for you for that.. there is hate everywhere.. AGAIN It is not everyone of this faith. please it is not everyone.. there are good people in this faith. please put your anger aside..

You are absolutely correct. There are many good Muslim people out there. But consider this? What if by your own criteria “all” of the “good” Muslims converted to Scientology tomorrow. Isn’t it fair to assume that there would be multiple millions remaining Muslims. Those are the people the Western World has good reason to distrust.

“A good Christian does not preach hate…” Neither does a good Jew. I don’t believe that every Muslim wants to kill all non-believers and institue Shari’a. However, I’ve have been waiting to see an Imam…any Imam, get up on Friday prayers and truly and wholeheartedly denounce Islamic extremism.

I remember on 09/12/2001, I was watching the local evening news with my wife when they did a sidebar piece about the backlash towards Muslims from the attacks. It showed the local police from my town dispatching two patrol cars to a local “Islamic Studies Center” within walking distance of my house, to protect it from threatened violent attacks. The piece then cut to an interview with the director of the Center…which is a school for children from Pre-Kindergarten age through eight grade, and also a mosque…stating emphatically that the hijackers are not what Islam is about. While he stated that the majority of Muslims do not believe in violent extreme acts, he did not condemn the attacks either. Then I noticed that he was standing in front of a bullentin board that was titled, “Heroes of the Intifada”, and contained pictures of what appeared to be homicide bombers.

In the struggle to establish Israel there were violent Jewish extremist groups committing bombing attacks on British Military institutions…the most famous of which was the bombing of the King David Hotel, which was the headquarters of the British Military. I guarantee you that you would not have a rabbi anywhere in the world who would have given a Davar Torah praising these attacks. In fact just the opposite occurred, rabbis around the world condemn the attacks, and stated that the way to establish a homeland for our people was through peaceful negotiation, and only to resort to violence in defense.

Just a small comparison between Judaism and Islam. The Torah has specific rules governing the ethical prosecution of war, to include not destroying the trees surrounding a city when you lay seige to it, and the killing of non-combatants. In contrast, the Koran and Hadithas state to kill all non-believers, and give specific extremely cruel and violent methods to employ.

I have to confess and apoligize to all you regular folk. I have a nasty habit of replying to trolls that pop up here time to time. Doesn’t make any sense since I’m just preaching to the Choir to the regulars and the trolls, well they’re just here to push their BS. Kinda pointless (but fun) way to get my frustrations out.
anyway…
Islam SUCKS and Debbie ROCKS!
Thank You, Good Night!

Islam will “peacefully” take over the world and most Americans will sit back and watch them do it. I don’t know what can be done to stop it, it may be too late already. Thanks for telling us the truth Debbie.

Perhaps the best history about Islan is Karl Marx’s “DECLARATION OF WAR”, about Crimean War Declaration by Great Britain, he wrote in 1854 to ‘The New York Daily Tribune’ (03/28 wrote and published 04/15 both in 1854. He explain how is Islan, and more, jews were the absolute majority in Jerusalem at that time.

The truth about this “religion” is that it makes nearly every person who comes into contact with it miserable or dead. Hey Ms. Sawyer why don’t you tell us what these followers are going to contribute to society? Wait for it….

There are all kind of people in every group. The problem with mohammedans that they obey the Qur’an. Because that book is the collection of the thoughts of a very sick individual. It is sad and extremely dangerous that so many millions of people following a mentally ill child molester’s visions in his trans that came to him in the depth of a cave. Unfortunatelly, for all humanity that unlike legitimate religions Mohammedanism has not been reformed. The opposite is happening; it is more and more hateful, jihad bound, more violence prone, unforgiving, and intolerant. Sorry Dr Tim this is your religion the religion of hate and intolerance, so keep worshipping your black meteorit. Is it the Kabaa? Isn’t it? Keep dreaming about the Caliphate, those were the days right? When dzimmies like us knew their places and show respect their peaceful true believer masters like you.

ABC news usually deletes all anti-Muslim posts from it blog.
ABC= All aBout Censorship

T: If only they censored Robert Spencer and replaced him with somebody who actually knows what they are talking about. (Spencer, himself, knows a lot about censorship since he contacts people and asks them not to link to or mention my work.) Sadly, ABC isn’t actually about censorship so much as using buffoons like Spencer to make fools of themselves, and the network allowed him to sit there and spew nonsense, which is why the Muslims clearly won the debate. Thanks, Slobbert. DS

What makes you think they won the debate? If I am sure they (Muslim representatives) never answered certain questions. For people who do not have any knowledge about Islam might go with it, but the ones who have idea about Islam can fully understand and see how uncomfortable they were with the questions put by infidels.
